The Manitoba stake schedule has been revised to follow the updated harness racing calendar. The stake schedule was pushed back to accommodate the fact racing is now only starting at Miami Fair on July 15. Barring further delays, the Loop will start hosting races on August 5.
The following is the updated race dates with corresponding stake races:
August 19: Lady Crocus
August 26: Futurity Eliminations
September 2: Golden Boy & Silk Lace leg 1
September 9: Great Western Eliminations
September 16: Great Western Final
September 23: 4-year-old Stakes
September 30 Futurity Final & Kindergarten
October 7 Golden Boy & Silk Lace Leg 2
October 14 Golden Boy & Silk Lace Final & Juvenile
All the stake races will occur at the Loop located at the Red River Exhibition grounds on the outskirts of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
